Chapter 23: Seeking Refuge

Ji Jing was strictly professional when it came to work. Furthermore, their respective abilities had already been fully demonstrated during the meeting. More importantly, he had seen firsthand just how serious Yu Xiangsi was about her work, and he had absolute faith in her capabilities.

Yu Xiangsi was delighted, looping her fair arms around his neck. "That’s what you said. Don't go feeling sorry for me and blaming me later."

Ji Jing lowered his head and kissed her forehead...

Even if he was furious that his son had kept things from him—and had even colluded with Ling Su to ostracize him—he had to endure it all.

Fortunately, this was an unfinished construction site; the window frames had not yet been installed, and the openings were large enough to accommodate the elevator.

A series of gunshots rang out. Other players in the game had also spotted the exposed sniper and were firing continuously at his position.

Hearing this, Wu Tian and Tao Zui exchanged glances. Being looked down upon was truly unpleasant, but being told they would never reach the Foundation Establishment stage struck them as amusing, for they had already achieved it long ago, and Wu Tian was even on the verge of forming his Golden Core.

The classroom windows had been blocked off, and all the students, along with several teachers, were forced to crouch in the corners of the room. Four masked gunmen stood at the four corners of the classroom.

Without the suppression of moonlight, the flare bombardment was far more powerful than before, and the surroundings were engulfed in intensely scorching energy.

He did not realize, however, that many uninvited guests had arrived on the continent. Had it not been for the formidable strength of Li Qing, Ashe, and the others, the Alliance would likely have been breached long ago. Even so, the losses were staggering, though fortunately, none of the top-tier experts had been lost.

Smith laughed heartily, continuously reeling in the line to pull up the massive fish, which weighed at least seven or eight pounds.

"Since you want to move this tree over, why not bring in some other flowers and plants, or simply build a flower bed in the cafeteria?"

When Xie Fei heard the words "late-stage Golden Immortal," his mind was put at ease. Since he was going to help, he would see it through to the end. Given the strength of his avatar, it should be comparable to an average late-stage Golden Immortal; even if he could not defeat the enemy, he would not be in any immediate danger.

Stepping out of Supervisor Yu's office, Yaoyao let out a long sigh of relief. After a night of calm reflection, she had finally sorted out her thoughts.

Months later, Yang Bo, who had been sent on an imperial mission to Annam, returned to Nanjing. He informed Zhu Di that the elders and prominent figures of Annam had jointly petitioned on behalf of Hu Hancang, who was willing to return the five occupied counties, including Qiuwen and Qingyuan.

Zhuo Lin raised his hand and fiddled with something; a human-skin mask was peeled directly off his face, revealing a face that was not unfamiliar.

They confidently believed that as long as they offered their true hearts to Yu Aotian, loved him with all their might, and gave him their absolute sincerity, they would receive the same love in return from this man.

"Li Shang!" A low growl from Yu Aotian, who had been silent for a long time, stopped Han Lishang's next move. His bottomless eyes slowly turned toward Yaoyao.

This city was world-renowned for producing all kinds of game software, and over ninety-five percent of the world's classic games were created within Fantasy City.

The Jinyiwei guards stationed at the gate of the great hall received the order. Two of them hurried inside, reached out to grab Zhou Guanzheng by the ribs, and prepared to drag him out of the hall.

Seeing the solemn expression on Qiao Xi Wu's face, Ling Xue felt a wave of panic. The last incident had caused her to faint; could it be that something else had happened this time?

Following Wan Xue's footsteps and the encroaching silver mist, the spatial seal was completely undone. The grotesque demons dissipated upon contact with the silver mist, much like snowflakes meeting boiling water.

The items were dazzling—magnificent jewelry, rare treasures, and even priceless medicinal ingredients. Some were so exotic that even the nobles present could not identify them, leaving everyone wide-eyed and filled with wonder.

"We will follow the Cult Master's orders!" Although Yang Xiao and the others did not yet know what Xie Wuji meant by "change," they agreed in unison without a moment's hesitation. Of course, if Xie Wuji's "change" proved too outrageous, they would certainly offer counsel and attempt to stop him.
